Summer School Outdoor Leadership Teacher Yale - New Haven, United States - ISSOS International

Description

WHAT DOES THIS JOB INVOLVE

As the Outdoor Leadership Teacher you will develop and lead this unique 3-week course, which aims to help our students develop and build on essential life skills like communication, decision-making, teamwork and confidence.

Our campus at Yale offers the perfect backdrop for this course, with a wealth of facilities available.

During the course you will lead your students through a range of varied and exciting outdoor activities, from sailing to group games and team building exercises, helping them to reach their personal goals and have fun.

You will have your own class of international students aged 13-18 years old.

Our classes are kept small in order to provide individual attention, personalised instruction and create an encouraging, supportive and fun environment for students to learn while making new friends from around the world.

Although we provide every teacher a guide as to what each lesson should achieve, we ask our teachers to bring their own experience and personality to each class and create their own stimulating and challenging lesson plans.
